Online bookstores

On the pages for individual book titles, both Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com provide Editorial Reviews, which include reviews for the books that come from the review periodicals named above, including reviews from ALA's Booklist. Just make sure that the Editorial Review is not just a description of the book from the book's publisher.
